It's the end of a snail fossil I find them in Caesar Creek Ohio and apparently all over it wasn't hand worked it's a ancient fossil tip of a snail shell
@@cleggsadventures Their world was such a different place. A cruel, difficult, unforgiving place that sustained them for many thousands of years. Oh, gotta go. The furnace pilot-light is out.
Man, that's such a great collection. I love watching genuine enthusiasts collect these things. You have TRUE reverence for each peice. I consulted a Miami tribe man years ago about whether or not its offensive to hunt and keep these things, and he told me "If you have respect for the work, and the person who made it, then keep it and honor it's spirit." I didn't quite grasp the full meaning of that until recently...
@@Nubenhoofer Much Appreciated! Yeah, a lot of people get offended by artifact hunters. But, it’s the tools and such that are found. No different than finding a 200 year old pocket knife.
The current thought among Archaeologist and some Native Americans is that the " nutting stone" is actually a drill platform. Some used it as the base to hold the shaft of a bow drill and some used as a fire starter also turned with the bowdrill setup. It only takes a few seconds to produce hot coals that in turn ignite the fine thatch or wood shavings bundle. Native Americans used lots of Fire in fact it was a crucial component of daily life. Too they drilled holes in almost every from wood and bone to stone for ornaments to everyday tools.
Yeah, some were probably used to crack nuts. One thing is the Chestnut. The United States was covered in the American Chestnut tree at the time of European contact. Many were huge. The Indians used the wood for everything including the nuts which were also big. A blight brought over from Europe wiped our the American Chestnut.
You sure cause me to think , wonder and be amazed ! Kinda like a working museum we can follow as it grows ( with some fine entertainment ) to boot . Thank you Scott 👍👍
At 2:35 Hey Scott. What you found here is a piece of an old pottery kiln stilt. It’s made of porcelain or fired clay. They use these to put under a glazed pot to raise it off the floor of the kiln so the pot doesn’t stick to it.
I’ve just got turned onto your channel man & I have to say from 1 Scott to another that “you ain’t gonna believe this”, it’s been amazing watching you find these various tools & arrowheads. Wonderful collection & I love the humor man!! Keep these videos comin!
That is an amazing collection! Thank you for taking us into your beautiful home and showing us. Although not nearly as nice as yours, I so wish I could show you a pic of my collection that YOU have helped me find. I guess that's not an option in the comments. Happy holidays my friend.
You've got a real nice collection. I used to hunt arrowheads in Georgia, and it's always a thrill to find one. I had a cigar box about full of them, but after I moved to Alabama, I had to sell mine to pay someone to pump out our septic tank. Broke my heart to sell them, but had no other choice. Sold them to a man that collected them. I found mine walking plowed fields. Was a lot of fun.
Nice Scott! Beautiful collection. Like your geodesic dome house too. Built a few of them in the 70s. Happy New Year to you and artifact hunters everywhere
I enjoyed seeing your collection. Nice collection of artifacts. Your lucky to be able to have places to go and search for artifacts. Here in South Texas most of the land is private and hard to get access to search.
Cool stuff Scott. You definitely have some oddities. I have a few head scratchers that I’ve found on the village site. Necessity is the mother of invention, and all they had was time. There is no telling what all kinds of tools they had. They were able to craft works of art out of stone. Just think of what they made out of wood.
Thanks Scott for sharing your hobby. I like the way you turn each trip into a big adventure. I can’t thank you enough for the time you take to prepare. Please keep the adventures coming.
I saw a piece in your table that you didn't mention, and I have one almost exactly like it. It's the rectangular stone, with a pit worked into it at one end. Mine is about the size of my thumb. I was hoping you would pick yours up and off an opinion on it. I always enjoy your videos, so thanks for putting them on. Also they are quite informative as to methods of finding artifacts which I appreciate. You have a nice collection there as well.
Wayne, it is long and square, and one end is rubbed smooth. There was, what looks to be, a chip knocked out of the top, but there has been pecking around the hole. I’m not sure what it was used for. A unique piece
My great uncle was an archaeologist. There's a gambling game Native Americans played. The round balls were used in the gambling game. There was a perfectly round "plate" that was about 2 or 3 inches thick. Perfect 1/2 spheres were carved unto the top of the "plate." They gambled on where the balls would land. My great uncle had the complete game. You need to go back to the area where you found those balls & look for the "plate." Those are very very rare & worth a lot to a museum.
Clegg, you have one of the best channels on RUclips, in my opinion. I've learned so much from you. You remind me of one of my CO's back in the Army, CPT McKinney. I look forward to seeing what you find this year. I'm going to hold off for searching ancient man artifacts, and stick with bottle dump digging for awhile.
Golle, thanks for sharing your terrific finds, Clegg. That’s super kind if you to do. Really enjoyed having a look! That hematite cone is superb. So many great pieces! Happy New Year!
That takes dedication. Absolutely amazing. I find mine while working, surveying. I would like to trade pictures of finds, but I can't post it for everyone, can't stop construction.
Killer display 👏, those hematite celts are pretty cool. I love the triangles 🤙, its always fun to pick those up, I'm at 10 for this year 😂👌, another cool vid, looking forward for the next one 🔥
Scott loved seeing all your saves!!! You always do a great job and put so much time and dedication into the research of your passion it is admirable don’t think it goes unnoticed.. I’m dying to get out too.
That’s an awesome collection Scott and a great video! You’re a wealth of knowledge when it comes to points. I like videos like this because it helps me identify Some of my finds! Everything that you’re finding on the river there can be found here on the Pennsylvania Ohio border! I just can’t wait till the weather is warmer, and the fields are plowed!
good cave friend you have a very good collection I found maybe more than 1000 arrowheads and other artifacts I am thinking of making a cave to put everything I have found greetings friend and good luck in your next hunts
Scott that was a very interesting video and certainly held my attention until the end. You've got a great collection going and I wish I had something that I have found but so far not a lot of effort on my part. I'll be looking for more videos especially as it warms up. That's a cool house you live in too. Very informational video and thank you sir.
Thanks Bob! I’m not sure it’s ancient, seems to be almost has like a thin pewter coating. I thought it was the nose of a birdstone when I first found it, until it wasn’t slate or stone. Maybe a part to something a couple hundred years old.
Just found your channel and it has quickly became my favorite artifact related channel thanks for sharing! Also you were wondering what the cone shaped piece was it looks to me to be a leg to a broken pottery bowl like a molcajete kind of setup
Seeing all of those nutting stones made me think about the one my uncle found on the bank of the Ohio River about 18 years ago. We named it the Queen Nutting Stone, or QNS for short. This thing weighs over 110 lbs and has over 80 nutting dimples on it. I went through hell to get that thing back to the truck for him. I have never seen one that big anywhere. It's pretty cool.
Congratulations on finding a beautiful collection of native artifacts.May the coming year bless you with even more finds and plenty of great adventures.
My take on the nutting stone. It is a Stone Age work bench. Sure you could break nuts in there, also I can see people getting a coal fired up, holding a bead or whatever they were drilling in place,as well as putting a bit of leather over the hole to make an arrow point securely held while applying pressure during knapping ? Really like your channel.
I’ve been thinking of every option for their use. I bet if we could go back in time, we’d probably see something obvious we’re overlooking. I think work bench is a good theory, some kinda constant pecking.
I just discovered this channel today and it's fascinating. I started with the segment on arrowheads you found at the Ohio river. It's so neat to go back in time with these historical finds.
Appreciate the heck out of you sharing your collection with us. Your home is beautiful. The Cobbs is awesome. One of my favorite points. Took me 35 years to find my first whole Cobbs. Then I found another with in the same month. I was beginning to think I wasn't going to find a complete one. The second one I found on a site I hunted since 1982. I find 95% woodland points in. Didn't think I'd find anything like that in there. Big Sandy are the only other type I found there. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Eric! I watch all your videos, you have a nice collection of artifacts. It always scares me when put em on that glass, always afraid you’re gonna drop one. You’ve found some awesome stuff.
No Spooks or spirits in that house. No corners for them to hide and jump out and scare you. Awesome finds awesome content awesome roundhouse. Awesome adventures you're the man 👊👊
Awesome collection!! And it was a true joy watching you find them!! Love your table and necklace. Happy New Year to you and yours! I look forward to your finds of 2023 and your wonderful videos.
Thanks for a Tour of your collection, your finds really present themselves well on that nice green felt!!! Here is hoping you have a prosperous and healthy new year!!
Scott, love your channel. It's probably the best Artifacts channel I've seen..No disrespectful because I've got Cherokee on both sides of my family, but the using distance in meters has to go ...Most are in America, im sure .
I’ve always been drawn to artifacts and paid for arrowheads when someone was willing. Thanks for the insight I think I’ll tasking myself w challenge find some along TN Cumberland and Harpeth Rivers nearby.
Awesome! So fun seeing everything brought together and I remember some of the finds from all your video's! I'm not an expert when it comes to relics but I am also fossil collector and that cone shaped item could be a fossil. It has the shape of a Mosasaur tooth but not the enamel color. Just something to consider. That would explain the thin harder layer on the outside with the softer white material on the inside. I could be way off but maybe not! Could be a tooth of an undiscovered animal!!!!
That love token is cool. I had one made for a wedding anniversary a few years back. I'm fixing to have another made for our 40th anniversary. The first was made from an 1883 Morgan dollar since we were married in 1983 and the next one is being made from a 1923 Peace dollar to represent 2023 a hundred years later. I have to ship them to a coin engraver in Spain as no one in the USA does such nice work. Thanks for sharing your awesome finds.
Dear Mr. Clegg, The pointed item you held up saying it was an odd item is a piece of ceramic stilt used when glaze firing ceramic vessels in a kiln. It's put under the bottom of the pottery to keep the vessel from cementing itself to the kiln shelf. Unfortunately what you held up is the broken tip of one side of one. These stilts usually have 3 or 4 sides depending who made them. They are easily broken during the firing process. That piece you held up is not a Native American artifact. I can easily understand how you might think it was due to the shape. To verify what I told you, look under ceramic stilts in a ceramic supply catalog. I'm retired Artist who taught ceramic arts. I enjoy your site very much and look forward to each episode. Keep up the great work!
Just found your videos recently and I'm trying it for myself. I haven't found anything except for a bunch of chips from shaping the artifacts. I believe we may be in the same general area and may go to the same place. If you have a way i can send pictures to get some insight on what they are that'd be great. Anyways i love the videos and hopefully we'll run into each other one day and you can give me some pointers 😂
Awesome collection, man !! Really nice display 👌.. You're doing a great job !! I appreciate you sharing with us, and I really enjoy your channel...Have a great New Year ✌ 🍀!!
To old I will have to fish instead lol I no your busy but have you ever been to that 11000 acre resort in West Virginia I seen a show on it this morning just wondered if it was good as it look
Hey clegg's, My boys and I have been loving watching your videos. Now, I noticed the arrowhead book on your table which brings me to my question: Is there any good books or literature you may recommend that have information as far as artifact identification, or what artifacts come from which regions, what time periods they come from, things of that nature? You seem to know a lot about the pieces that you find. Not only are we anxious to find our first artifacts, but we would also like to understand some of the origins of things we may find. Finding native American artifacts is a really cool thing, but actually understanding what they are is even cooler.
Much Appreciated! Get “The Overstreet” identification and price guide. Breaks everything down by region and gives several examples of each piece. I have the 15th edition. It’s just what you are looking for
Probably drilled with a piece of native bamboo with sand added as an abrasive. This method was used in pipe making. This method leaves a post in the center until the hole is completed. Pipes were made with this method. The example with the post you have probably wasn't completed.
You’re probably correct. But I met a man who is an expert in artifacts and he said they didn’t use sand. I always thought the same but what he said made sense. Sand, under magnification, is little tiny round balls that won’t cut. He said they most likely used crushed up flint, which is sharp and jagged, for the cutting medium
@@cleggsadventures The sand grains keep having to be replaced to remain angular for cutting. Where I live coastal North Caroling flint isn't readily available. I have seen drilling demonstrated with reed and sand. A bow was used to drive the reed fast. The bow string took a turn around the drilling shaft. The materials for making pipes is a softer material
@@cleggsadventures I was young and there was no internet back in the fifties and sixties. I had found broken pottery, rocks with inch deep holes,, clay marbles, one piece was six inches long and three and a half inches wide? looked like a huge arrow head but no notches. I have a large stone that is flat with a chipped out hollow ten inches in diameter in it. It is not smooth in the hollow? I wonder what it was used for? You said you learned a lot from others? I would think you would be teaching with your knowledge? I have learned a lot from your videos. sorry for the drawn out story. Take care.
@@mattedwards4533 Anytime Matt. Maybe that stone was a work platform of sort, or maybe a mortar that was almost complete but never got finished for some reason. A lot of things , we’ll never know.
What a nice bunch of lithics Clegg! I think some of your hematite stones have been repurposed as Native Americans thimbles. At 1:37 (which is the most convincing) and at 8:53 they both seem to be purposely pecked out in the center to accept a needle to keep it from slipping under force. Thumb and palm thimbles were used to protect fingers and hands and give more force to punch drive needles in tough leather clothing and other sewn leather items. I believe those two to possibly be repurposed for this. I have a very unique double sided one of these I found on the Potomac River a bit south of you. Beautiful collection!
I think the hollow bone , is from the wing of a turkey . I have seen.them before . If you read about Lew Wetzel , he called an Indian into range , in the Wheeling area , and killed the Indian. Wetzel was using a turkey wing bone to do this . A very nice display Scott , drive on Hoooah
Here's a thought on your mystery item. It looks to me to be the base of a clay pipe bowl. It broke just where the stem started to go out but before the hole to allow drawing smoke.
It’s been ID’d by a viewer. That was a good guess though, better than anything I could come up with. It is a vintage ceramic stand to put pots on. Here is a photo of a similar one. I think mine is 1800s, there were a couple old houses that were there long ago. It’s the pointed end piece. psh.ca/products/double-pointed-stilt-02
The object you were wondering about that's shaped like a cone on the front is a piece of decorative pottery. What were the round pieces that are flat on the bottom used for?
Thanks!
Very Much Appreciated Kenny! Gas is expensive and this definitely helps 👍👍
It is a whistle and it was drilled with a reed ✝️✝️✝️👍
It's the end of a snail fossil I find them in Caesar Creek Ohio and apparently all over it wasn't hand worked it's a ancient fossil tip of a snail shell
The little cone shaped artifact you weren’t sure about looks to be the foot of a pottery vessel. Killer
Mr. Clegg is doing one heck of a job stretching history right out to the limit and beyond.
Where mysteries just ooze out of the river bank.
Trying to figure these mysteries out 👍
@@cleggsadventures Their world was such a different place. A cruel, difficult, unforgiving place that sustained them for many thousands of years. Oh, gotta go. The furnace pilot-light is out.
Oh 😮 I love oozing artifacts
Man, that's such a great collection. I love watching genuine enthusiasts collect these things. You have TRUE reverence for each peice. I consulted a Miami tribe man years ago about whether or not its offensive to hunt and keep these things, and he told me "If you have respect for the work, and the person who made it, then keep it and honor it's spirit."
I didn't quite grasp the full meaning of that until recently...
@@Nubenhoofer Much Appreciated! Yeah, a lot of people get offended by artifact hunters. But, it’s the tools and such that are found. No different than finding a 200 year old pocket knife.
The current thought among Archaeologist and some Native Americans is that the " nutting stone" is actually a drill platform. Some used it as the base to hold the shaft of a bow drill and some used as a fire starter also turned with the bowdrill setup. It only takes a few seconds to produce hot coals that in turn ignite the fine thatch or wood shavings bundle. Native Americans used lots of Fire in fact it was a crucial component of daily life. Too they drilled holes in almost every from wood and bone to stone for ornaments to everyday tools.
They are a mystery for sure
Yeah, some were probably used to crack nuts. One thing is the Chestnut. The United States was covered in the American Chestnut tree at the time of European contact. Many were huge. The Indians used the wood for everything including the nuts which were also big. A blight brought over from Europe wiped our the American Chestnut.
Amazing collection Scott! Love those nutting stones outside as well, keep hunting love watching 😊
Much Appreciated Garson👍

You've got a real nice collection. I used to hunt arrowheads in Georgia, and it's always a thrill to find one. I had a cigar box about full of them, but after I moved to Alabama, I had to sell mine to pay someone to pump out our septic tank. Broke my heart to sell them, but had no other choice. Sold them to a man that collected them. I found mine walking plowed fields. Was a lot of fun.
Nice! That’s probably the best watch to hunt them. People around here don’t like giving permission in the fields.
Fantastic 3 years brother Clegg! 👏
Thanks Sam👍
That’s a super collection to be proud of. I was hoping for this video for a long time.
Awesome man cave too. Happy new year!

The bone with a hole in it is a handle to a small kitchen knife. I have the set on my kitchen. It’s not actually a bone, more a polished porcelain.
I’m checking now, not porcelain. It actually looks Ivory. It has been shaped by hand, as I can see sanding scratches over it.
@@cleggsadventures😮😮 Ivory would be amazing!! Beautiful house you have by the way!
Great presentation! Went out for my first time yesterday. Came up with a golf ball.

Scott, love your channel. It's probably the best Artifacts channel I've seen..No disrespectful because I've got Cherokee on both sides of my family, but the using distance in meters has to go ...Most are in America, im sure .
Thanks William! Hahaha, I grew up in the time they were trying to push the metric system in school. Just habit I guess.
I’ve always been drawn to artifacts and paid for arrowheads when someone was willing. Thanks for the insight I think I’ll tasking myself w challenge find some along TN Cumberland and Harpeth Rivers nearby.
Good luck out there 👍
Great collection. You have inspired me to try sifting along the seashore. Can't wait for it to warm up so I can head out.
There’s one waiting on ya!👍
Some incredible finds you've made over the years! I've had a busy month, too, and had a killer day today!
Thank you, I liked that big blade ya’ll found last video!👍
@@cleggsadventures Yeah, that one was pretty nice!
Very awesome Scott. 🏋🏻♂️
Thanks 👍
Awesome! So fun seeing everything brought together and I remember some of the finds from all your video's! I'm not an expert when it comes to relics but I am also fossil collector and that cone shaped item could be a fossil. It has the shape of a Mosasaur tooth but not the enamel color. Just something to consider. That would explain the thin harder layer on the outside with the softer white material on the inside. I could be way off but maybe not! Could be a tooth of an undiscovered animal!!!!
Thanks Cayton! Yea, that thing is a mystery for sure. I keep looking at it like🤷♂️
SuhWEEET! Always dig your stuff sir.
Thanks Dale! I watch you as well 👍
That love token is cool. I had one made for a wedding anniversary a few years back. I'm fixing to have another made for our 40th anniversary. The first was made from an 1883 Morgan dollar since we were married in 1983 and the next one is being made from a 1923 Peace dollar to represent 2023 a hundred years later. I have to ship them to a coin engraver in Spain as no one in the USA does such nice work. Thanks for sharing your awesome finds.
That’s cool! This is an old coin as well. Can’t remember the date but older. I had never heard of these until I found this one.
Dear Mr. Clegg, The pointed item you held up saying it was an odd item is a piece of ceramic stilt used when glaze firing ceramic vessels in a kiln. It's put under the bottom of the pottery to keep the vessel from cementing itself to the kiln shelf. Unfortunately what you held up is the broken tip of one side of one. These stilts usually have 3 or 4 sides depending who made them. They are easily broken during the firing process. That piece you held up is not a Native American artifact. I can easily understand how you might think it was due to the shape. To verify what I told you, look under ceramic stilts in a ceramic supply catalog. I'm retired Artist who taught ceramic arts. I enjoy your site very much and look forward to each episode. Keep up the great work!
You are correct. Another viewer said the same. I had no idea
Just found your videos recently and I'm trying it for myself. I haven't found anything except for a bunch of chips from shaping the artifacts. I believe we may be in the same general area and may go to the same place. If you have a way i can send pictures to get some insight on what they are that'd be great. Anyways i love the videos and hopefully we'll run into each other one day and you can give me some pointers 😂
Good video, quite a collection and a nice property. Happy new year to you all!
Happy New Year David
Excellent!
Thank you 👍
In 2 separate museums by my house, they each have dug out canoes found over 150 years ao
I’ve seen pictures of some, very cool!
Great video!!!!!
Tank Kenny!👍
I've been waiting for a new video, keep up the good work.
Thanks Tim👍
@@cleggsadventures Do you ever find points made from obsidian or just flints and cherts mostly?
Awesome collection, man !! Really nice display 👌..
You're doing a great job !! I appreciate you sharing with us, and I really enjoy your channel...Have a great New Year ✌ 🍀!!
Very Much Appreciated! Have a great New Year!
@@cleggsadventures 👍
Awesome video I’m moving the the northern panhandle in just a few short weeks can’t wait to hit the river banks for myself
Good luck!
Greetings, the conical shaped stone is likely a Horned Coral. All the best to you!
Thanks Lee👍
What a collection we can't hunt points here on the Tennessee river so we will watch your channel
Come to WV John.
To old I will have to fish instead lol I no your busy but have you ever been to that 11000 acre resort in West Virginia I seen a show on it this morning just wondered if it was good as it look
@@johnfugate3432 not sure where you speak of
Nice Your the man ✌️
Thanks Randall👍
Love that table 💪
Much Appreciated Mike!👍 I need to make some end tables next, that one’s getting full
Hey clegg's, My boys and I have been loving watching your videos. Now, I noticed the arrowhead book on your table which brings me to my question: Is there any good books or literature you may recommend that have information as far as artifact identification, or what artifacts come from which regions, what time periods they come from, things of that nature? You seem to know a lot about the pieces that you find. Not only are we anxious to find our first artifacts, but we would also like to understand some of the origins of things we may find. Finding native American artifacts is a really cool thing, but actually understanding what they are is even cooler.
Much Appreciated! Get “The Overstreet” identification and price guide. Breaks everything down by region and gives several examples of each piece. I have the 15th edition. It’s just what you are looking for
Man, thank you very much! I'll be checking that out for sure. Looking forward to the new video, congrats on the 14k subs!
Probably drilled with a piece of native bamboo with sand added as an abrasive. This method was used in pipe making. This method leaves a post in the center until the hole is completed. Pipes were made with this method. The example with the post you have probably wasn't completed.
You’re probably correct. But I met a man who is an expert in artifacts and he said they didn’t use sand. I always thought the same but what he said made sense. Sand, under magnification, is little tiny round balls that won’t cut. He said they most likely used crushed up flint, which is sharp and jagged, for the cutting medium
@@cleggsadventures The sand grains keep having to be replaced to remain angular for cutting. Where I live coastal North Caroling flint isn't readily available. I have seen drilling demonstrated with reed and sand. A bow was used to drive the reed fast. The bow string took a turn around the drilling shaft. The materials for making pipes is a softer material
Nice collection of artifacts. I had a few but nothing like you have. You showed me things that I threw away not knowing they were artifacts?
Oh No! Yeah I’ve probably done the same. I’ve learned a lot the last few years, reading and watching others
@@cleggsadventures
I was young and there was no internet back in the fifties and sixties. I had found broken pottery, rocks with inch deep holes,, clay marbles, one piece was six inches long and three and a half inches wide? looked like a huge arrow head but no notches. I have a large stone that is flat with a chipped out hollow ten inches in diameter in it. It is not smooth in the hollow? I wonder what it was used for? You said you learned a lot from others? I would think you would be teaching with your knowledge? I have learned a lot from your videos. sorry for the drawn out story. Take care.
@@mattedwards4533 Anytime Matt. Maybe that stone was a work platform of sort, or maybe a mortar that was almost complete but never got finished for some reason. A lot of things , we’ll never know.
What a nice bunch of lithics Clegg! I think some of your hematite stones have been repurposed as Native Americans thimbles. At 1:37 (which is the most convincing) and at 8:53 they both seem to be purposely pecked out in the center to accept a needle to keep it from slipping under force. Thumb and palm thimbles were used to protect fingers and hands and give more force to punch drive needles in tough leather clothing and other sewn leather items. I believe those two to possibly be repurposed for this. I have a very unique double sided one of these I found on the Potomac River a bit south of you. Beautiful collection!
You could be correct Nova, they are mysterious for sure
I think the hollow bone , is from the wing of a turkey . I have seen.them before . If you read
about Lew Wetzel , he
called an Indian into
range , in the Wheeling area , and
killed the Indian. Wetzel was using a
turkey wing bone to do this . A very nice
display Scott , drive
on Hoooah
Could be. Someone said a quill pen.
Nice finds my friend
Thanks Doug!
Here's a thought on your mystery item. It looks to me to be the base of a clay pipe bowl. It broke just where the stem started to go out but before the hole to allow drawing smoke.
It’s been ID’d by a viewer. That was a good guess though, better than anything I could come up with.
It is a vintage ceramic stand to put pots on. Here is a photo of a similar one. I think mine is 1800s, there were a couple old houses that were there long ago. It’s the pointed end piece.

At 1:55, that's an arrow shaft planer. At 9:42, it also could have been used for 'fleshing' skins.
Much Appreciated
The object you were wondering about that's shaped like a cone on the front is a piece of decorative pottery. What were the round pieces that are flat on the bottom used for?
The white cone was identified as a piece from a kiln stilt, not ancient. The others are called “Hematite Cones” nobody knows their use
